Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa is a popular ghazal, especially in the renditions, sung by Ghulam Ali.[1][2] It is written by the Akbar Allahabadi. It composed in Raag Malkauns.
While the song is clearly about the pleasures of imbibing alcohol, it is claimed [3] that its genesis is in the social context of the British Raj in India, at a time when the Muslim League had begun to exert its independent approach to interacting with the British, against the wishes of the Congress. Some Muslims, including Akbar Allahabadi, hoped for Hindu-Muslim unity. This caused others to suggest that he had been given alcohol by the Hindus. (Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol.) His ghazal was intended as a response to those insinuations.
Lyrics
Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa, Thodi Si Jo Pii Lii Hai
Daakaa Toh Nahin Daalaa Chori Toh Nahi Kii Hai
Naa Tajurbakaari Se Vaaiz Kii Ye Baatein Hai
Is Rang Ko Kyaa Jaane Puchho Toh Kabhi Pii Hai
Us Mein Se Nahi Matlab, Dil Jis se Hai Begaanaa
Maqasudd Hai Us Main Se Dil Hii Mein Jo Khinchati Hai
Vaa Dil Mein Ki Sadame Do Yaa Kee Mein Ke Sab Sah Lo
Unkaa Bhi Ajab Dil Hai Mera Bhi Ajab Jii Hai
Har Zarra Chamaktaa Hai Anwar-e-Ilaahi Se
Har Saans Ye Kehati Hai Hum Hai To Khuda Bhi Hai
Suraj Mein Lage Dhabba Fitrat ke Karishme hai
Boot Hum Jo Kahi Kaafir Allah Ke Marzi Hai
